Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to
record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on
and -output button switchers) and
(16-button and 12-button switchers) and use
one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use
different colors for video and audio.
NOTE: All of the equipment in the following examples is connected through the
appropriate MTP transmitter or receiver.
Worksheet Example 1: System equipment
Figure 44 shows a portion of a worksheet for an MTPX Plus 1616 in a fictional organization
with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, and 13 have no connection in this
organization, so they are crossed out on the worksheet. Similarly, outputs 7 and 9 through
16 are crossed out.

Worksheet Example 1: System Equipment
Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300. Output devices
include monitors, projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording presentations.
The VTG 300 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern to be
sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment purposes. An
audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out the audio components.
